ChartaCloud ROBOTTECA today announced the launch of specialized socially assistive robot-based behaviors for use in robot-mediated behavior intervention (RMBI) for autism, assisted pediatric medical care in hospitals, special needs education in school classrooms and social and assisted daily living engagement in elder care.
The company stated that the availability of these solutions is the result of a global collaboration with developers from Belgium, Canada, France, Switzerland and the United States. The company also announced that detailed descriptions of the solutions can be seen at the newly launched website at http://www.sociallyassistiverobots.com.
"We are committed to advancing the new era of socially assistive robotics including the advances of human-robot interface (HRI), artificial intelligence (AI), and telepresence systems and software which are used to expand the robot's effectiveness. Socially assistive robots help clinicians, therapists, special needs educators, school teachers and families enhance conventional methods used in health care and education," said Michael Radice, chairman of the technology advisory board of ChartaCloud.
"Our mission is to constantly search the world for socially assistive robot solutions found in Universities, software development organizations and businesses that can make a proven, positive difference and then make them available to caregivers, educators, researchers, and families," Radice added. "As an example, with the CDC now estimating that 1 in 59 children are being diagnosed with autism in the U.S., the demand for new resources to provide effective autism behavior intervention therapy is clear. Using robot-based interventions in autism helps expand the resources available to therapeutic services and schools. Socially assistive robots provide that additional resource." concluded Radice.
